I was in my local Target today and found a fresh opened case of Halo Universe Blind Bags. I used codes to find what I wanted so that is why there is no Blue Spartan, Marine, or Grunt Ultra. I will start with the pros of these 3 figures and then go into the cons.
Pros:
1) They look fantastic
2) The new Commando Rifle piece accommodates Muzzle flash pieces
3) both the Banished Elite and Halo 2 Brute have the new Hand molds.
Cons:
There is only one con to these but it’s a big one. Putting these guys together was a pain. It required some serious straining and strength to get some pieces together. Namely the waist connection. I have never had this much trouble putting Halo figures together. Also look out for putting the helmet on the Halo Wars 2 Elite. I honestly thought I was going to snap the peg several times, though thankfully all 3 of mine came out unscathed.
Verdict: these figures are great for any collection, but if these are a gift for your kids or they purchased some themselves, help them put them together. I suspect children may have a tough time getting them together without breaking them.
